Wenn ich schon lange tot bin
2005
A solitary, dreamlike scene unfolds on the canvas, rendered in Schwontkowski's characteristically muted, earthy palette with loose, gestural brushwork. Fragmented paper collage elements merge with the painted surface, creating a layered, enigmatic composition that hovers between figuration and abstraction. The work carries the artist's signature melancholic wit, evoking themes of time, mortality, and the quiet strangeness of human existence.
